Fashion trends are for conformists.

I hate you!!!!!!! :)

I have the problem where I could actually wear pants as a tube top/pants combo, lol

Just wait a couple of years, those will be back in style! :awinky:

I have a friend who is 6'3" or so. When I bitch about not being able to find jeans that are long enough, she just about puts a hole through my head with the icy glare she puts out. Then she just says "you think YOU have it bad?" and it shuts me right up. :)

Really though it's not us with all of our different leg lengths. It's the people who make women's jeans/pants. They need to take a cue from their male counterparts and do inseam/waist measurements, adding in a curve for the hips. It would be SO much easier and make the majority of women very happy!

Lee and Dockers (or are they owned by the same company?) has done a good job IMHO with regular, petite, short and tall pants and jeans.

Now, DRESS pants or "stylish" pants are a whole 'nother story. I can count on always having to get them hemmed. :( Though some of them have elastic wastebands (or at least the "old ladies" crap I buy does :awinky: ) and I can roll the band a few times, lol!

I would like to do this, but I would get into a hell of a lot of trouble. Not to say that I would be dead, but I think I would be left barely alive in great pain and misery. :zoinks:

Dearheart, you did your share of that *before* you met me. You slut.
But you know I love freedom, so if you feel that strongly about it, go right ahead! There's nothing stopping you!
Just remember when you come home, that I also have the freedom to change the locks. :groucho:

I simply said I would "like" to, not that I wanted or was going to. I am perfectly happy not having to get a new key.
:wnw:

Hmmm. What do you make your clothes?

I don't follow trends.

I wear jeans and t-shirts.

The cheaper the better.

anarchist, anti-establishment, go against the grain types are the biggest conformist group of all.....


notice me I'm different....let me give the opposite opinion to be different....I am so cool because everything you say i can act like a non-conformist snob and ALWAYS take the oposing side

if you are such a non-conformist why do you post on a message board

That's funny because of the irony behind it
At a "Goth" club a few months back, standing on the balcony drinking watching the going's on below on the dance floor (and elsewhere - so what I'm a social voyeur) and thinking to myself
All these Goth's striving for non conformity have become conformist
The all black outfits, the disaffected attitude, the bizarre/unusual dances, Hot Topic clothes, the list goes on
I found it quite amusing - but then so are a few glasses of Dewar's

and yes I go out of my way to be "colorful" when "gothing" (kind of like slumming so to speak)

Eh? What does posting on a message board have to do with being a conformist or a non-conformist.

Just for the record, I do not seek the attention of others. I am happy being myself. I don't dye my hair, have piercings, tattoos or wear lipstick.

I just don't follow culture trends.

Clearly Andrew and I should never be allowed to go shopping together...I do the exact same thing! :D

:bdance: :purpdance: :bdance:

and you can be secure in that you'll never be a slave to fashion

"Well if you don't like it
Go ahead, find yourself a saint
Go ahead now,
Try to find a boy
Who's gonna be what I ain't

Now what you need is
A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint
Who's gonna sit through the madness
And always acts so quaint
Said yeah yeah yeah "


Or fashionable :okthumb: :D

You two would be a perfect match! :groucho:

Only current trend that really irks me is the whole baggy pants with the underwear showing thing on the guys. Their dads need to smack 'em on the back of the head and tell 'em "pull your damned pants up boy you look like a moron".

Todays teens aren't being smacked upside the head near enough... Just stop by GFY if you dont believe it.

Betcha ten to one most of 'em weren't smacked on the ass pre-teen, either.
"Aw look, he's expressing his individuality, don't say anything or you'll hurt his precious self-esteem"
Gimme a break. *schmack* Go put some decent clothes on.

i miss the good baggy jeans of the mid 90s cuz i hate these tight nut hugger jeans every company seems to be making these days. I like my jeans with big pockets and extra room for my nut sack :)

Many more people wear jeans and T-shirts than, say, Armani or Versace.

You just conform to the larger group.

I personally love the faded look, and have way before it became the "in" thing. Large watches, no way!

Hate hate hate the baggy look where the guy is having to pull up their pants with ever step. Why not avoid having to do this by just buying the right size? My son buys his jeans at LEAST 2 sizes too big. It kills me!

Hate hate hate the big hole in the ear thing. Why in the hell do you want to see through someone's earlobe? It makes me want to throw up whenever I see it.

Hate hate hate the baggy look coupled with the large earlobe! I say there should be a law that limits your "in" fashion choice to 1!

I grew up in a VERY strict household where my mother was always worried about what people would say about HER in reference to what we wore or did. As a result, we weren't allowed to wear T-shirts or "dungarees" outside the house and I wasn't allowed to wear pants to school. My school also had a strict dress code - just not as strict as my mother :awinky: - no sneakers OR white socks for the boys, no opened back or opened toed shoes for the girls, etc. And needless to say, G_d WILL strike you down if you wear white after Labor Day or before Easter!

It must have been one of the ONLY things I didn't rebel against as I still dress conservatively. I don't think I've ever worn a t-shirt outside the house, lol!

But I do get a special kick out of the thought of my son visiting with her when he's wearing a t-shirt as I know she's twitching and convulsing inside. :P

So for those who wouldn't wear a large-faced watch. Is this because you have become accustomed to smaller faced watches as the norm and the larger faces are too extreme compared to your view of what constitutes a "normal" watch?

They just look big and goofy.
Plus the bigger they are, the more they get in the way. Usually heavier, too... you're more aware that it's there and it bugs you more.

ME!!

Someone who knows his daughter should give her the contact for the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy show!! :P

I'm sure plenty of guys would be willing to let you know!! :P

I am at heart basically a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy but when I did work and had to wear a suit I loved shopping for them and my ties (animal ties being most prevelant) :okthumb: Always had compliments on my animal ties!! :okthumb: I would almost never wear dress shoes with my suits either. 90% of the time I would wear them with cowboy boots.

One of the biggest mistakes in suit buying I ever made was an all silk suit. It looked quite good and I got a ton of compliments on it but it just wasn't me!! :unsure: Never felt comfortable in it. <_< Women loved it and guys hated it. One of the few times I gave in and kept wearing something I didn't really like or feel comfortable wearing!! :P

Watch the South Park episode on this. Fucking hilarious!!

Same reason I dont wear clown-shoes.

and its not because society says I shouldnt

Small feet?

That'd be me

Remember back in the 80's when the faded jeans look was really in and people were taking them out back and shooting them with shotguns, then selling the resulting multi-holed mess for hundreds of dollars?
Crazy shit.

I *did* buy a faded jean jacket back then, took it to Ocean City and had the grim reaper airbrushed on the back. Wore that thing out so bad the cuffs nearly fell off.

Wait now that I think about it, a buddy of mine airbrushed the grim reaper on the back. Everyone kept asking me if I got it done in OC. Stupid brain!

Nothing wrong with leather... If God didn't want us to wear it, he'd have
given cows claws...

Then why dont you smack him on the back of the head and tell him to buy some pants that fit and keep 'em pulled up. :huh:

have to ask, whats a large faced watch ??

i wear a clock on my chest that flava flave gave me 10 years ago, does that count ?
